## Description

**_Have you ever been annoyed by being not able to insert a new item as submenu 
parent or to delete menu items without opening the menu item panel? A free and easy
to use plugin saving you time working in WordPress._**

#### Your benefits

 * You can delete menu items in a 1-click process instead of opening the menu item
   panel.
 * You can move the menu items in 1-click process without opening the panel.
 * You see via icons on the left sidebar if a page, post, category etc. is already
   used in the current menu.
 * You see the used menu items by hovering over the items in the left sidebar.
 * You have the possibility to do quick inserts of menu items, where you can place
   them at the position you like.
 * You can modify the behavior of inserting/moving elements downwards.
 * It shows you additionally the original name of a menu item on the outer level
   like in the opened panel.
 * Saves you a lot of time by reducing clicks not needed to work with the menu items
   in the backend.
 * It´s free and easy to use.

#### Different behaviors

Inserting/moving menu items downwards is enriched by two new behaviors. Moving/inserting
rightwards, upwards is the same as provided by WordPress.
 Leftwards moving/inserting
is a special case. The leftwards functionality is nearly the same as provided by
WordPress expect the scenario when the menu item becomes a menu parent and create
a submenu by moving one step left. The different behaviors can be seen in the **
_Screenshots section_**.

#### Same-level behavior

When choosing this behavior menu items will be inserted/moved after submenus. The
default behavior provided by WordPress inserts/moves the menu item into the submenu.

If you move/insert a menu item and the next menu item is the parent of a submenu
it will stay on the same level, but the position is after the submenu.

#### Take-children elements behavior

When choosing this behavior menu items will become new submenu parents when inserted/
moved if they would become the parent of the submenu children elements.
 This is
true for downwards/leftwards moving/inserting.

#### Quick insert multiple menu items

It can be very handy to insert multiple menu items to a specific menu element to
create a submenu.

#### Compatible

The plugin is compatible with a multisite setup.

### Future roadmap & wishlist

By future updates the plugin´s functionality will be enriched.
